Stair climbing contest (Babylon Bee)
« on: March 20, 2021, 11:31:46 AM »
MOSCOW—Vladimir Putin has challenged Joe Biden to a contest of wits, strength, and cunning: a stair-ascending contest. The winner of the contest will gain control of the other country.

"Stair-ascending contest, me and you, right now, let's go," said Putin as he met with the American president. "He who wins become supreme glorious leader forever of other puny weak man." Biden agreed to the contest, though it wasn't clear he knew who this man was or where they were.

"3... 2... 1... climb!" shouted the referee before firing off a pistol. Biden got off to a rocky start as he was startled by the gunshot and scurried off in the wrong direction. Putin, meanwhile, just walked up the stairs. Biden started gaining on him as his handlers corralled him and pointed him in the right direction, but he kept falling over and tumbling down the stairs.

It all looked good for Russia until Putin had to stop a few times to sign execution papers for journalists who criticized him, squandering his lead.

Finally, Biden jumped in a stair lift and started to close the gap, but it was too little, too late, and Putin emerged at the top of the 30-step staircase victorious.

Well, thanks to Biden losing the stair contest, we are now part of Russia. We also just want to say that Vladimir Putin is one fine fellow and a fantastic man, and he deserved to win and we welcome him as our new leader for life.

I can't believe this is the man people elected thinking, "He's in great shape for his age!"

While I'm more concerned about his mental decline, his constant challenges to pushup contests and the like with Trump, journalists and voters who question him demonstrates how skewed his view of reality is.

The last 2 weeks of reporting on Biden have not been kind to him. 

Maybe the only thing he's gotten right was calling his former running mate and now VP "President Harris."  He seems to have a problem keeping straight who's really in charge.

A lot has happened in the little over 3 months of his presidency.  In my opinion all of them not good.

Three years and nine more months to go.  Forget about a second term not sure he can even finish the first.

Some people voted for him because “anyone but Trump”. 🤦‍♂️

My cousin, normally a pretty rational guy, would come un-glued at the mention of
Trump.
I'd happily feed a Democrat feet first into a wood chipper, but I'd do it rationally.
You know "Revenge is best served cold", however,
The TDS people are fully un-hinged.
Scary that people like that vote.

People who are overtly emotional like those who voted for anyone other than Trump because of their hatred towards Trump need to see a shrink. It is neither normal nor rational to vote against your own self interests. For instance, those who are Pro 1A and 2A voted against the only pro 1A and 2A candidate that had any chance in hell to become president. That action in itself is not rational IMHO.

Emotions are what the Democrats NEED to win.
They can't win elections based solely on facts and results.  Theirs can't compete with Republicans'/Conservatives'.

Voters who don't follow politics are like people who go to the horse track once or twice a year. 
They don't follow or understand the stats and standings, so they bet on the names of the horses,
the color of the number worn, or the numbers themselves ("3" is my lucky number!").

Not a surprise these kinds of people decided the fate of our nation based on "I don't like Trump's hair," or "MSNBC said Trump's worse than Hitler!!  I would never vote for Hitler!"
